I suggest you read the instruction manual before plugging it in.

What's ridiculous is that it's become a marker in the first place. People with zero understanding of punctuation decided the presence of the em dash is statistically significant, then proceeded to make it a universal rule that its presence proves the text is generative slop. em-dash-appreciation.org

This is preposterous. Resist!

The monoculture you refer to is not something I'm acquainted with, but that's probably because I tend to follow users who are involved in AI research rather than the big generative AI players and blind enthusiasts. Would like a bit more effervescence on research and SLM topics though.

Thank you. I have one set up locally for myself, but the one I want to set up for my mum will need something other than just IP / domain blocking. Also looking at www.privoxy.org

I think I'll need to have a look at sourceforge.net/projects/kee... for fine grain control in conjunction with Pi-hole.

Right, that's on my agenda as well. Do you use anything other than Pi-hole? Are there SynthID validators as well, or anything able to detect generated text or video?
